Focal 3D conformal high-dose hypofractionated radiotherapy for brain metastases.
The optimal management of patients with few brain metastases is complex. On one hand, stereotactic radiation therapy is a keystone of treatment but is only applicable to highly selected patients fulfilling specific criteria who have access to an adequate radiation unit. On the other, whole-brain radiation therapy may improve survival, but deleterious effects on neurocognitive functions are well...
متن کاملSingle Versus Multiple Fractions of Palliative Radiotherapy for Bone Metastases: A Randomized Clinical Trial in Iranian Patients
BACKGROUND Despite high-level evidence in the literature, the use of single-fraction radiotherapy (rt) for management of painful bone metastases is not widely practiced in the world, as highlighted in several practice-pattern surveys. Fractionation of palliative rt for bone metastases has not been addressed in Iran, where the most common clinical practice is the use of 30 Gy in 10 fractions. Th...
متن کاملClinical outcome of postoperative highly conformal versus 3D conformal radiotherapy in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy (RT) is currently under investigation as part of a trimodality treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The introduction of highly conformal radiotherapy (HCRT) technique improved dose delivery and target coverage in comparison to 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT). The following study was undertaken to investigate the clinical outcome of both radiati...
متن کاملThe comparison of dose distribution of different 3D conformal and conventional radiotherapy plans for gastric cancer
Aims: It was aimed to investigate postoperative conformal radiotherapy planning that provides the best target volume and the least dose for critical organs in cancers of stomach. Methods: This study was conducted on the CT simulation images of thirty patients diagnosed with gastric cancer. Target volumes and the organs at risk were contoured. AP-PA reciprocal parallel field conventional plan an...
متن کاملUse of a 3D printer to create a bolus for patients undergoing tele-radiotherapy
Background: This study describes the possibility of implementing three-dimensional printing technology to create a precise construction of a planned bolus, based on computed tomography information stored in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format file. Materials and Methods: To create the bolus with a 3D printer, we converted data in the DICOM format to the s...
